To the left side of the screen? I have two new sponsors! These “sponsors” happen to be hand-picked by me and I couldn’t be prouder to tell you about them! I love them so much, I’ve provided ads to them at no cost.

Pretty Fun is an Etsy shop by cool-gal Sara. She creates jewelry and purses that are to die for and there truly is something for everyone! Check her out here and here.

The Gifting Spot features personalized gifts for everyone in the family and should certainly be your first stop for any monogramming. The prices are good and the prints available on the products are right on trend. Check it out here.

Be sure to stay tuned and add us to your Google Reader. Mid-August is bringing a week of fabulous giveaways, including The Gifting Spot and Pretty Fun!

Bridesmaid Gifts: The Gifting Spot

Rhonda Gail — Tue, 20 Jul 2010 03:07:55 +0000

There are so many choices out there for bridesmaids gifts and it can be hard to narrow it down. The best gifts are personal, but it can be hard to find something that doesn’t blow the bank. Enter The Gifting Spot. Owner Shana offers personalized gifts that are just too cute! They feature the hottest patterns like seersucker, houndstooth, and damask, while giving you a bevy of options for thread color and monogram font. Here are a few of my favorite gifts.

Spa wraps, waffle cosmetic bags, koozies, beach towels, seersucker totes

Any of these would be absolutely perfect for wedding party or bridal shower gifts. However, the market tote is absolutely amazing.

This collapsible tote is only $28 and has so many uses! I really want one. Imagine the possibilities. Take it to the farmer’s market, grocery store, on a picnic, or use it in your home to corral all those items that linger around the living room and kitchen counter. When you’re done, collapse it and slide it under the bed or anywhere else. For bridesmaids gifts, you could absolutely use this as a gift basket and fill with any of The Gifting Spot items I chose above. Throw in a bottle of champagne, some chocolates, and a personal card, and you have such a fabulous gift!

While you’re checking out TGS, be sure to add the blog to your Google Reader and “Like” it on Facebook so you can stay in the loop with promotions and other news.

There’s more! Through July 31, The Gifting Spot is offering FREE SHIPPING! Love that!

Sweet Yellow and White

I don’t love the way I put this together (in a hurry), but I had a beautiful collection of sweet, daisy-themed yellow and white images and wanted to group them together. A wedding styled this way would be perfect with checkered tablecloths, fairy lights, and daisies in mason jars. I would have loved a wedding like this in late summer.

Tori and Dean’s Vow Renewal

Rhonda Gail — Sat, 29 May 2010 02:56:28 +0000

One of my favorite celebrity couples is Tori Spelling and Dean McDermott. They are so beautiful and so real and I’m absolutely addicted to their reality show. They recently renewed their vows and the event was beautifully captured by their family photographer, the famed Elizabeth Messina. You must go to Messina’s blog to check out images from the chic yellow and grey renewal.

Wedding Colors: Grey and Orange

Rhonda Gail — Sun, 21 Mar 2010 14:02:59 +0000

I love grey with nearly any color you can think of. Grey IS the new black, at least for me! It has all but replaced black in my wardrobe. I envision a grey and white wedding with all shades of orange for a little color. I really like the modern feel of this board, inspired by the sunset image by Susan Stripling. I could see this wedding taking place in a seaside tent in the summer.
